AUTHOR'S NOTE: Enjoy! I forgot to mention in chapter one that any relations in name, plot, ect. is pure coincidence. Again, I do not own Teen Titans...
Back at the brightly-light Titan's Tower, the five superheroes were all enjoying each other's company in the living room... some more than others, however. Beast Boy and Cyborg were playing a video game together; Robin was watching Jump City through the window; Starfire was watching him worriedly, and Raven was reading.
"It's too quiet," Robin said simply, "something's wrong here..."
Starfire got up from her spot on the couch and walked over to him, placing a hand on his shoulder. "Robin, nothing is wrong. Tonight is the Halloween. Perhaps any evil has gotten a fear of the crowds."
Raven closed her book and looked up to the two. Ignoring Starfire's words, she said, "It's early, Robin. If you want to fight, you'll have to wait. Any sensible villain would wait until it's a little darker to strike."
At that moment, the alarm went off.
"Okay, I guess the villain isn't sensible," Raven sighed as she put her book down on the couch beside her.
The Titans all gathered around the computer monitor as a familiar face was pulled up.
"Hello, Titans." Red X's voice was distorted, but all the heroes needed was a face to put two and two together. Red X wasn't always bad news, but apparently, tonight he was. His masked eyes narrowed and Beast Boy saw something... no, someone in the corner.
"Dude! Who's that?" He pointed at her.
"A little friend of mine." Red X narrowed his eyes further. "And if you want her to live, I suggest you get over here as soon as possible."
The computer monitor faded out.
"Titans, go!"
As they all headed for the garage, something grabbed Raven from behind, one hand covering her mouth and the other arm around her waist, locking her arms to her side. Petrified, Raven tried to scream out, but it came out more as a muffled "mmph." The rest of the Titans didn't notice she was gone until they were in the car, but by that time it was too late to go back.
"Come on, guys! We have to go after her!" Beast Boy insisted.
"She has powers. She can look out for herself. X's hostage doesn't and can't." Robin argued. Cyborg fired up the engine, and they were off.
AUTHOR'S END NOTE: I'm really liking how this story is turning out...
